Apps Add or Remove Favorites in Photos app in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to add and remove image files as Favorites in the Photos app for your account in Windows 11.

The updated Photos app on Windows 11 helps you browse, organize, and edit photos and videos from your PC, OneDrive, and iCloud. You can use Photos with pictures stored on your PC without signing in to OneDrive.

In Photos you can:

• Browse photos and videos from your PC, OneDrive, and iCloud in Gallery.
• Search by what's in your personal OneDrive photos, not only by file name. On a Copilot+ PC, search also covers indexed photos stored locally.
• With a personal Microsoft account, find photos of friends or family in People, filter Gallery by people you name, revisit highlights in Moments, and create Albums.
• Mark Favorites.
• Crop and adjust photos with the updated editor.
• Browse photos available on your device when you're not connected to the internet.
• Add local folders and use Windows actions with a photo: set it as your desktop background or lock screen, print it, or open it in File Explorer.

You can add your favorite images in the Photos app to the Favorites area to make it easier to find them later, and remove them Favorites later when wanted.
